What does CFP after a financial planner’s name mean?
You can find over 200,000 financial planners in the United States, but only the International Board of Standards & Practices certifies those with CFP after their names for Certified Financial Planners. To earn their professional designation, planners must participate in ongoing approved educational classes, and pass five course exams and the two day, ten hour Board comprehensive exam. And they must have the required experience.
